Cherry flew up into the room silently. She circled high above the area outside of the cell, examining those on guard. After a few passes, she spotted a demon with the keys. Niko? Was that his name? She couldn't really remember.

She perched close to him. As soon as things began, she would make her move, hopefully getting the key ring by thrusting her head through the loop and flying off with it. They might not even need the keys, she supposed, but in the long run, she felt they might be useful to have. Din forbid they ever had to break in again.

No one in the room appeared to notice Cherry. In fact, the room was extremely tense: no one seemed to want to look at Evelyn at all.

Niko paced back and forth, only occasionally settling before restlessly moving around again. -- But, Niko was at the back of the room, and most everyone was facing outwards. Towards any possible threat.

Or so they thought.

The barracks had been bad enough, trying to avoid the ears of so many highly trained killers. The staircase marginally easier, though Cedric had forgotten how quickly people came zipping down those things when no one was in their way. Except there were people in their way, they just couldn't see that. Sticking close to the wall helped in every instance except the mage who came barreling down, also thinking to avoid possible collisions by keeping to the wall. That would have been messy ( ... )

Out onto the landing, and there they were. Twenty guards, majiks, and even Senator Zosima.

Devorah had struck like this before. Like a ghost, invisible. It had been the battle that prompted her to quit the war entirely, and leave everything she knew behind.

No time to think about that now.

She reached out, and she struck; three were down, unconscious, before anyone had time to react, and then the battle was on.

Oh fuck, he wasn't ready. Which was not actually true, because when things started moving, he was moving, stupefying anyone who crossed his field of vision. When the soldiers started attempting to zero in on the attacks, though, he left the knocking out to Ginny and he started creating diversions. He knocked things over, made the air shimmer the way it had when Hood's symbol made Devorah disappear. At the very least, he could make them believe their numbers were greater than three, maybe make them nervous.

Evelyn sat in her inevitable sphere of isolation, focused on the prisoner on the other side of the door, listening to her tightly locked mantra of staunch defiance. Evelyn didn't mind, not the boredom or even the grating elven arrogance. She could wait. She prodded the prisoner's mind subtly, forcing her to stay awake, and any willpower to fight her back had to be conscious as well.

They would wear her down, and she would slip, and Evelyn would find what they needed.
